The 10% requirement for diversity is welcome although what it means in practice is not clear.
Local nature reserves need room round them in order to thrive. Building up to their boundaries will reduce their sustainability.
Consideration should be given to sites outside official designations but of importance to local communities to protect green spaces and biodiversity.
